Capítulo 72: Sylvia Mancini's return

As Lucius carefully settled Layla onto the mattress, her eyes fluttered open, and she whispered, "I saw someone outside the company earlier. I forgot to tell you."

Lucius paused, thinking she might be rambling in her drunken state. "You must've seen an employee," he suggested, trying to dismiss it.

But Layla shook her head slightly. "No. The man was suspicious... and he had a camera too."

Lucius's brows furrowed at her words, his mind sharpening despite the situation. If she was right, this wasn't something to take lightly. "My eyes are tired," she murmured, her lids drooping as she slowly drifted off to sleep.

He stayed beside her, gently adjusting the duvet and making sure she was comfortable. Once her breathing steadied and she was fully asleep, Lucius removed her heels and carefully tucked her in. Layla turned onto her side, pulling the duvet closer, sinking deeper into slumber.
